In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 43 The He Family Has Something Even More Terrifying
"Don't bring Wanwan back to the He family! It will kill her! It really will kill her!" Ming Ke kept trying to stop her.

Gu Yuexi said, "It seems I guessed right. The He family is indeed hiding something else."

For example, the phantom she saw on Madam He!

She could clearly see a swaying phantom on Madam He's body. The phantom did not seem to be possessing Madam He, but rather the two were so perfectly integrated that they seemed to be one.

Like a symbiotic secret, it merges and connects two completely different species.

You have me I have you.

Inseparable!

“What is it that even the red-clothed ghost fears? A thousand-year-old demon?” Gu Yuexi shook her head: “No, if it were a thousand-year-old demon, Huowa and Shuiwa would have sensed its presence long ago. No matter how powerful a demon is, it’s impossible for it not to reveal a trace of its demonic aura.”

We'll only know for sure after we see it in person.

Ming Ke's panic left the two children bewildered. Huowa explained to him, "What do you mean? Miss He's soul has been separated from her body for over a year, spending every day with you, this ghost. Her soul has been tainted by ghostly energy for so long. If she doesn't return, she may never wake up again in this lifetime."

"You're the one who ruined her life!"

Ming Ke sighed painfully and said weakly, "I will never harm her no matter what. I don't want her to go home because there is something even more terrifying in the He family!"

Fire Boy and Water Boy exchanged a glance.

They found nothing unusual at the He family's house, but the ghost didn't seem to be lying. Huowa asked, "What's at the He family's house?"

“I can’t say exactly what it is. I only know that it is much stronger and more ferocious than me.” Ming Ke shook his head.

Shuiwa asked, "Is its purpose Miss He?"

Ming Ke shook his head: "Not only that, I've also discovered that it's very interested in Madam. Please don't take Wanwan back. Taking her back to the He family is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter."

“But if Miss He doesn’t go back and merge with her body, over time her body will reject her soul, which will put her in even greater danger,” Shuiwa said, frowning.

“You can take her body out.” Ming Ke was eager to gain their trust, saying, “Trust me. If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t do anything to that thing, I would have sent Wanwan back into her body long ago.”

Shuiwa said, "Can you tell us where that thing is? If we get rid of it, Miss He will be safe."

Ming Ke's eyes were tired, and his voice was melancholy as he said, "Let alone the two of you, even the three of us working together might not be a match for it. Most importantly, it is very good at hiding. Although I have already discovered its existence, I have not found out exactly where it is hiding."

Fire Boy asked in confusion, "Is that monster really that powerful?"

Gu Yuexi transmitted her voice to the two children: "This lady has already discovered the traces of that monster. Return to the He family and deal with it as it comes."

Fire Boy and Water Boy nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ming Ke suddenly saw the two children bow in a certain direction and then say something inexplicable. He was very surprised and looked around. Were there any outsiders here?
Just now, it seemed that they also suddenly discovered the Ghost Domain Array Eye, catching him off guard.

There are other people here!

Why didn't he notice anything at all?
Shuiwa explained Gu Yuexi's words to Ming Ke in detail: "Even if we don't bring Miss He back, we still can't bring her body out!"

"As you said, that monster's target was Miss He and Madam He. Madam He may have been persecuted by it long ago, and Miss He has been in a coma because she lost her soul."

“If we take Miss He’s body away, it will definitely guess that we have found Miss He’s soul, and then she will still come after us.”

"It would be better to deal with each move as it comes. Let's get Miss He's soul back to its rightful place first, and then we can talk about other things."

Ming Ke was still completely baffled by the strange behavior of the two children.

Huowa explained to the bewildered Mingke, "Our Lady has discovered the existence of that thing, and she told us to go back and deal with it as it comes."

Ming Ke asked in confusion, "Your Majesty?"

"We are attendants of the Golden Saint Goddess, the spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. Our goddess is a deity, and what you are talking about is nothing to fear in her eyes. She could crush it with one hand," Huowa said confidently, head held high.

Ming Ke couldn't help but question, "Is it really that powerful?"

Fire Boy smiled enigmatically: "Our abilities are less than one ten-thousandth of Your Majesty's, yet we still managed to fight to a draw. Our Your Majesty possesses boundless supernatural powers and magic, beyond question!"

Shuiwa nodded: "Just now, the Empress sent us a telepathic message, telling us to return to the He family and deal with whatever comes our way!"

Huowa said to Mingke, "You must come back with us because the Empress said that some grudges need to be settled, and you are of utmost importance."

When Ming Ke saw He Wanwan lying unconscious on the ground, he clenched his fists and said with difficulty, "I'll go with you." Huowa and Shuiwa led them back to the magistrate's mansion.

He Jinzong and his wife waited for a day and a night.

It was already noon, and the two celestial children had not yet returned. He paced anxiously back and forth in the front hall. Luo Yousong happened to have some time today and decided to check on the progress of the two celestial children. He accompanied He Jinzong to wait.

"Don't worry, those two celestial children are so powerful, they'll definitely be able to bring back Wanwan's soul," Luo Yousong comforted his friend.

He Jinzong asked anxiously, "Why aren't they back yet?"

"Lord County Magistrate!"

Fire Boy and Water Boy suddenly appeared.

Ming Ke was a ghost, and He Wanwan was a living soul, invisible to mortals. Therefore, He Jinzong only saw the two fairy children return. His heart skipped a beat, and his face turned ashen.

Has Wanwan not returned?
With a look of worry, he asked cautiously, "Fairy Boy, where is Wanwan?"

His eyes were filled with tears.

Mrs. He asked anxiously, "Hasn't my Wanwan returned yet?"

Luo Yousong also looked worried.

"We have brought Miss He's soul back," Shuiwa said to them.

"Really?" He Jinzong's worry turned to joy.

“Miss He is a living soul; mortals cannot see her,” Huowa hummed in agreement.

Mrs. He also patted her chest, her face relaxing.

Luo Yousong laughed heartily: "Great! I knew those two celestial children were attendants of the Golden Saintess, their supernatural powers must be immense, they will definitely be able to bring Wanwan back."

He patted his friend on the shoulder.

"Now you can rest assured."

"Yes, yes!" He Jinzong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Please rest for a moment, two celestial children. I will have the servants bring breakfast."

"Your Excellency, there's no need for you to trouble yourself. Once we've returned Miss He's soul to its rightful place, we should head back to Qihuang Mountain," Huowa politely declined.

Ming Ke suddenly spoke up: "Didn't you say you were going to get rid of that thing? Why are you leaving now? Wanwan will be in danger!"

"Who! Who's speaking?" Luo Yousong looked around fearfully.

He Jinzong and his wife looked at each other and said, "This voice sounds familiar."

The voice appeared out of nowhere, filling them with panic: "Immortal Child, did you bring back something extra?"

“Mingke!” Madam He suddenly called out.

Ming Ke said softly, "Master, Madam, it's me."

He Jinzong was furious: "You took my Wanwan away!"

The lady's wet nurse said that she arranged for Wanwan and Mingke to have a posthumous marriage, which is why Wanwan fell into a coma.

Ming Ke asked in surprise, "I didn't take Miss away."

Huowa said, "Your Excellency, let Miss He's soul return to its place first, and we can discuss the rest later."

"Yes, yes, quick, quick, back to Wanwan's room." Ignoring everything else, He Jinzong led Huowa and Shuiwa back to He Wanwan's room.

Because Mingke said that the He family had something else, Huowa warily watched his surroundings while Shuiwa sent He Wanwan's soul back to its place.

Like Huowa, Mingke was wary of everyone present.

After an incense stick's time, Shuiwa finished casting the spell, his forehead covered in sweat: "All done!"
